Chapter 2: The Royal Family

  As soon as I stepped out of the house, a wave of scorching heat hit me in the face. The cool air that had just been in the room instantly disappeared without a trace, and a dry heat rose up from the bottom of my heart.

  Yang You in his past life didn't particularly dislike summer, because when summer arrived there were all sorts of ways to cool off. However, in this era, even having an ice bucket was considered a luxury.

  Wiped away the beads of sweat seeping from his forehead, this weather must be over 30 degrees Celsius.

  "On behalf of His Majesty." A paper umbrella covered his head.

  Yang You turned his head and saw Wang Xi standing beside him, holding a paper umbrella, leaning forward to block the sunlight for Yang You as much as possible.

  Yang You lightly waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to hold an umbrella. In his previous life, holding a parasol was a girl's specialty, and he hadn't developed this habit.

  Walking slowly under the scorching sun, Wang Xi held an umbrella and followed quietly behind.

  Yang You didn't care, he now needs to calm down and get familiar with his surroundings, digest the information in his mind.

  Lowering his head to look at his frail body, Yang You let out a sigh. This body was only thirteen years old this year.

  Although living in a palace should be very rich and fulfilling, why is this body so weak?

  Looking around, seeing the ancient and elegant houses, and classical architecture, in Yang Yu's memory, this should be the East Palace Crown Prince Mansion.

  As Yang You was still underage, he did not move out but stayed in the Eastern Palace and lived with Consort Wei.

  The layout of the East Palace is very elegant. Turning right at the gate, a delicate garden comes into view. The garden is in full bloom, with exceptionally beautiful flowers.

  In the center of the garden there is a small pond, with a gentle breeze blowing in, bringing refreshing air that makes one feel invigorated.

  "Greetings, Your Highness," chimed in several sweet voices.

  Yang You had been feeling uneasy in her heart and had been wandering aimlessly in the garden, until she heard a sound and only then did she realize that there were still several palace maids in the garden.

  "This is Princess Iyotama's maid." Wang Xi stepped forward and reminded him.

  Get up! Yang You raised his hand slightly, this was the imperial court's etiquette, yet Yang You brought it out very naturally, this was probably what later generations called muscle memory.

  Such etiquette had been practiced by this body for hundreds of times, and it had already formed muscle memory. This also saved Yang You a lot of trouble.

  Thank you... on behalf of His Majesty the King.

  Some of these palace maids were a bit odd and seemed to be intentionally drawing out their voices.

  Look out!

  Suddenly a loud shout came, and Yang You subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

  In a nearby flower bed, a girl of about ten years old, wearing a red qipao, with hair that seems to be somewhat disheveled.

  The girl stood with her hands on her hips, her feet resting on a pink skipping rope, looking at Yang You with a proud and excited expression, her beautiful phoenix eyes shining with excitement.

  Your Highness, be careful

  Wang Xi fell behind and heard the sound of his face changing greatly, hastily reminding him.

  Unfortunately, it was too late. The red shuttlecock was kicked out by the red-clothed girl with one foot. Although the red-clothed girl was young, she was obviously a seasoned player of shuttlecock kicking. The shuttlecock flew straight towards Yang You in a parabolic trajectory.

  "It's broken."

  Wang Xi's heart was in a great hurry, wanting to go and block Yang You in front of him, but it was already too late.

  However, what he didn't expect was that Yang You lightly jumped up and used his chest to meet the flying cuju. The cuju bounced off his chest, and with a light retreat of his body, the force was dissipated, and the cuju came to a steady stop at his feet.

  He stepped on the kickboard, looking at the red-clothed girl and Wang Xi's stunned expression, but Yang You didn't feel much pride, only this sudden movement made his whole body ache again.

  Yang You's past life Yang You also liked football very much. Now that he has met the ancestor of football, he subconsciously showed off a bit and kicked it out with one foot.

  As soon as he brought it up, Yang You knew he was wrong. It wasn't the pain on his body again, but compared to the football in his previous life, this ball was a bit too light and didn't control the force well.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, a beautiful red line flashed by, and the kick-ball easily cleared the wall and disappeared.

  Good, it's too brilliant. This one sentence by the substitute for His Highness can be said to have gone all out, and even in the entire Daxing City, there are only a few who can compare with him.

  Wang Xi patted the horse's buttocks and said in a flattering tone.

  "In general, it's a great success! The third one is especially good!" Yang Youhou said with a thick face and a self-satisfied tone.

  As soon as the words fell, a sharp and mournful cry came. Yang You's thick skin suddenly turned black for a moment.

  Haha..."; The red-clothed girl walked over with a laugh, holding her stomach.

  This time, without Wang Xi's reminder, Yang You also knew that this was indeed the Out-of-Cloud Princess Yang Jie'er. In this imperial palace, only she could be so unscrupulous and unrestrained.

  Actually, Wang Xi just reminded Yang Yu to be careful with Yun Gongzhu, not to let the palace maid, but to remind Yang Yu that Yun Gongzhu has teased him many times in the palace.

  He thought he had already warned the palace maidens that they were Princess Iyoshino's attendants, and Prince Genji, who had been taught a lesson before, realized that Princess Iyoshino was nearby.

  However, today's substitute king seemed a bit strange and didn't have any guard. What happened next was even more astonishing to Wang Xi.

  "Not bad, it's really wonderful! Haha." Yang Jier covered her stomach and walked over with a twist and turn.

  Pay respects to Princess Izumo.

  Wang Xi and the maid kowtowed and fell to the ground.

  Hmph!

  Yang Jier ignored the people on the ground and circled Yang You twice, making a few clicking noises with his mouth.

  "I didn't notice! After not seeing you for over a dozen days, it seems that after being sick, your ball skills have actually improved." Yang Jier said with a puzzled expression.

  Joke, I was good at ball skills all along, and before that, I just let you win. Yang You still had memories of the past, but many things were not adapted to, and he couldn't let Yang Jier delve deeper.

  At this time, a good way to shift the topic is to provoke conflict, especially by belittling Yang Jier's most cherished ball skills.

  Come on, let's go to the stadium and have a match.

  As expected, Yang Jier was anxious as soon as she heard this and grabbed Yang You's arm, pulling him out.

  Yu'er, Jiji

  A gentle voice came over and a beautifully dressed woman in a cheongsam walked over.

  Yang Jier, who was originally fierce and menacing, changed her expression instantly upon hearing the voice, turning into a wronged little girl in just one second.

  Sister-in-law, Yang You is being naughty and kicked my shoe away. Yang Jier rushed towards the approaching palace-dressed beauty, pouting and acting spoiled on her body.

  "Your Highness Wei Fei," Wang Xi and the palace maid curtsied again.

  This palace-dressed beauty is Yang You's mother, Wei Fei. Wei Fei was just over thirty years old, with a dignified appearance. The superior life of the imperial family made time not leave any marks on her face, but instead added a few points of elegance and nobility.

  In Yang You's deep memory, he felt the strong dependence of this body on Wei Fei, and the affection between mother and son couldn't be blocked.

  Is this the kickball Your Highness was talking about?

  A woman in her forties with a dark face walked out, wearing snow-white clothes with a clear ball print on them. In her hands was a red shuttlecock - wasn't that the one that had just been kicked flying?

  Yang You and Yang Jie'er involuntarily shrank their heads, this palace maid was not an ordinary palace maid, but Wei Fei's personal maid since childhood, who had been taking care of Wei Fei, and later followed her into the palace, never marrying, and was one of Wei Fei's most trusted people.

  Everyone in the palace called her - Wu Ma

  Yang Jier couldn't be bothered with her tantrums anymore, and timidly picked up the shuttlecock before running away in a cloud of smoke.

  Before leaving, she also didn't forget her maidservants, beckoning them with a wave of her hand. Her maidservants also paid their respects and followed after her.

  Wei Fei sighed helplessly, Yang Jier was her younger sister-in-law and only ten years old. Yang Guang had been away from the palace for a long time and neglected to discipline her, which had shaped her current personality. Wei Fei couldn't ignore it, but she also didn't know how to discipline her.

  Wei Fei glanced in the direction where Yang Ji'er had disappeared and turned her head towards Yang You.

  "Mother." Yang Youxian bowed and said.

  How did you just happen to run out and have so much fun?

  Wei Fei walked up close with a reproachful face and used her handkerchief to wipe the sweat from Yang You's forehead.

  Yang Yu had just recovered from his illness and was still weak. With the hot weather, he started sweating as soon as he kicked a ball.

  At this time, Wei Fei was like all ordinary mothers in the world, filled with joy as she looked at her recovered son. Since the death of Crown Prince Yang Zhao, Wei Fei, like all mothers, had poured her heart and soul into her son.

  Feeling the smooth handkerchief wiping away his sweat, Yang You suddenly felt a slight sourness in his nose, feeling somewhat ashamed. After all, he wasn't the real Yang You. He felt like a thief, not only stealing this body but also taking away a heavy load of motherly love.

  But from this moment on, Yang You had secretly made up his mind that from now on, there would be no more Yang You of the previous life, only Dai Wang Yang You of this life.

  Because here he also has a home and a heavy motherly love.
